Boyfriend and Facebook problem

I'm not saying it can't work, I'm saying the odds are against most who try.

You see? We're saying the same thing.

There are two hard facts that every LDR couple must face:

1. They have allowed some outside factor to come before the relationship. College. A job. Military service. Something.

2. Unless maybe one of them is in a warzone, there are probably plenty of eligible single people around both of them.

Maybe that's the difference. My friend let nothing stand in his way - his wife is from Thailand, he's from the U.S. My brother took leave and flew to marry his HS sweetheart/wife and bring her with him. I let nothing get in my way - my wife is amazed that I came to Arkansas to be with her - but I've told her (and it's true) that absolutely nothing short of further incarceration would keep me from being with her. I will do anything, endure anything, go anywhere to be with her, and she feels the same way about me. I came here because it made the most sense at the time. Soon enough it'll make sense for us to go elsewhere, and we will.
